Abstract

The prior studies have well established the factors of correctional staff's stress at work. However, it is not clearly identified gender-specific factors influencing female correctional officers' level of stress. Thus, this study aims to examine factors particularly influencing female correctional officers' stress, such as child-rearing and work conflict, overwork bounden, and strains from male-oriented organizational culture. This current data utilized a set of survey data drawn from female correctional officers from 124 prisons located in different regions in this nation. Finally, a total of 172 female correctional officers's survey data was used for the analysis. A set of multivariate analyses reveal that security staff role, satisfaction for life, positive perception toward correctional officers' leadership in prison decreased the risk of stress among female correctional officers. Regarding work-job conflicts variables, child-rearing and work conflict and strains from male-oriented organizational culture were significantly associated with female correctional officers' stress. Yet, the direction of the two variables were different. For female officers, child-rearing and work conflict was not a risk factor for stress in that i decreased the level of stress. But the variable of strains from male-oriented organizational culture was a risk factor for female officers' stress level. Further suggestions for the future studies, discussion on contributions of the current study and policy implications were discussed in the last part of this article.

이 연구는 국내의 여성교도관들의 다양한 스트레스 관련요인과 그 영향력을 분석하기 위한 경험적 연구이다. 가장 중요한 연구의 검증주제는 어떠한 직업과 가정의 갈등요인들이 여성교도관들의 스트레스에 미치는지 그리고 영향력은 어떠한지를 분석하고자 하였다. 더 나아가 일반적으로 교도관들의 스트레스와 관련되어 있다고 알려져 있는 개인적 단위의 요인들과 조직적 단위의 요인들의 영향력과 유의미성 역시 검증하였다. 이 연구의 분석을 위해서 국내의 12개의 교도소에서 근무하고 있는 여성교도관들 172명을 대상으로 설문조사를 수행하여 데이터를 수집하고 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 여성교정공무원들의 스트레스에 영향을 미치는 요인들은 보안과 근무여부, 생활만족도, 상관의 조직운영에 대한 인식, 그리고 육아와 가사를 근무와 병행하는 어려움, 남성중심조직문화의 어려움의 5가지 변수들이었다. 주목할 만한 것은 보안과 근무여부, 생활만족도, 상관의 조직운영에 대한 인식 그리고 육아와 가사와 근무병행의 어려움의 네 가지 요인들은 모두 여성교도관들의 스트레스를 감소시키는 요인들이었다. 그러나 남성중심조직문화의 어려움은 여성교도관들의 스트레스를 증가시키는 요인인 것으로 나타났다. 여기서 육아와 가사와 근무병행의 어려움과 남성중심조직문화의 어려움은 여성교도관들의 직업-가정갈등요인으로 분석에 사용되었다. 이와 같은 결과는 여성교도관들이 남성들에 비해 특별히 다른 스트레스 요인을 가지고 있지는 않으며 심지어 육아와 가정생활과 관련된 업무의 부담까지도 스트레스 요인으로 인식되지 않고 있다는 점이다. 그러나 남성중심적인 업무환경은 여전히 여성교도관들의 스트레스를 증가시키는 가장 심각한 위험요인이라는 것이 발견되었다. 이와 같은 연구의 발견에 근거한 논의가 결과와 논의에서 해석되고 논의되었다.
